If AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) invited his sister in law and 2 friends into a room and Beale's only involvement is being there (presumeably in what was his room), then I don't know why he would be subject to any sanction at all.

No, it’s a link to a group led by AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) flouting team protocol to go to the pub. In both cases the coach has had to stand players down from the following game. In this case one assumes that it was AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) who invited his own sister in law to the team hotel.

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) has similar history (see post 229)

Although some people have a short memory, or pehaps a selective memory. Beale has had his well-publicised issues off field, but let's not forget that AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) was part of the late night drinking crew which Link had to stand down all those years ago. le plus ça change le plus le même chose. ;)...

I assume that you've read all of the previous posts before making this comment? If you had, you would have noticed that I made the same comment about rules. You would also have noticed that I qualified what nyou have quoted by saying: - Assuming that the events are being reported accuratly...

He's not reluctant, he simply refuses to even consider any modification to the run at all costs philosophy.

.But if we piece together the day in question, it can't have been any more than a fleeting visit. The game against Wales kicked of at 5.20pm local time, so it would have finished about 7.15-7.30pm. From what I know of what happens after tests, it would have been at least 8.30pm, probably...

Although as one of the visitors was a relative of AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) who had a couple of friends with her and they seem to have left by 10.30pm, I'm not sure that there would have been uproar. It would have been more sensible for them to meet in the hotel lobby though in view of the rules about visitors.

On the face of it it sounds a fairly trivial incident. As long as they are going to consistently apply these rules it's fine by me though.

We could run to 100 pages just discussing this paragraph and you haven't even mentioned the maladministration which has run the game into the ground over the past 20 years.

Tickets start at 55 pounds for the Wallaby game with the most expensive 132 pounds. Capacity 82,000 Ground is owned outright by the RFU, so they keep all profits. (some farsighted administrator bought the land in 1907 for 5 thousand pounds)

Twickenham nearly always full for the autumn internationals against Tier 1 nations and 6N games.

Indeed, so why pray tell are the coaching staff keeping us and England fully abreast of the state of injury and illnesses and posting the same on the Rugby Australia website? Both he and Bernard Foley sat out Wallabies training on Monday local time and while more were expected to be sidelined...

The main All Black team were on a simultaneous tour of South Africa (from which Maori players were not selected in order to comply with Apratheid laws), so in effect we were playing their 3rd XV with three good Maori players added.

Unless the master plan is to appear to be in such a hopeless position, that Cheika can form the wagons in a circle and flick the switch to siege mentality.

Shapes as the most evenly matched anyway.

Particularly when every time Beale has been picked at 10 at either super or test level we've seen the same result. Beale is a much better 12 than Foley. As I said after the Italy test, either Foley starts at 10 or he isn't in the starting side.

Maybe Foley will suffer from a relapse of the alleged virus from last week and have to withdraw? :D

Of the starting XV, Foley at 12 is the weirdest. Almost unfathomable in fact. Phipps ahead of Gordon isn't far behind. Don't think Ainsley is up to international standard.

Other than picking Genia at 9, there's no general agreement about anything.
